To be fair, Xastir's implementation of dead-reckoning for
locally-owned objects/items isn't complete yet:
The Xastir station controlling an object will see it dead-reckon
across the map just fine.
Remote stations that have dead-reckoning implemented will see the
object move along the map, then return to the object's start point
at each transmit time. Xastir needs to update the position actually
transmitted. It's on our list.
